If one fears the rugged rocks ahead, life will forever be a stagnant pool. Strong faith wins strong people and then makes them even stronger. To shield coral from the erosion of crashing waves would be to bury its beauty. If a blade fears injury and avoids the whetstone, it will never be sharp. There is no such thing as "if"; every life is unique and cannot be redesigned. Only by braving the storms of the journey can one eventually hold the rainbow. I will not leave my youth in blank; I dare to dream big. As long as you are alive, do not treat yourself as worthless. The harder you work, the luckier you become. Every morning that is not spent in effort is a betrayal of life. — Nietzsche
